/strek/ - Star Trek

This is a joke, right?

I think we can all agree anyone is better than Whoopie Goldberg.

I mean she was a bar tender right? She was always there so I don't know

>>19508

This. You are a gentleman and a scholar, sir.

Neelix wasn't a bartender, he was chef and Delta Quadrant guide.

The best chef was the one from ENT who is constantly mentioned but never shown.

>>19508

Agreed.

Binging should be reserved for rewatches.

However! Sometimes you can't stop. So if you find yourself in that spot be sure to play it through atleast twice to aide absorption

>>19506

Everyone is better at everything than Whoopi Goldberg, except being a degenerate nigger.

>>19508

Wow. Check out this Star Trek pro!

Quark’s was undoubtedly better run than ten-forward. Quark was interested in moving product quickly, so you’d get your order fast and it would be reasonably what you’d expect. I’m sure getting mixed drinks from Quark means as minimal alcohol as he can get away with, but then again he’s want people liquored up for Dabo.

Guinan was always chatting with people so drink service undoubtedly got slow, and since Starfleet required synthehol the only real alcohol she had was some green shit. I suspect Guinan would give out potent shit if she could, but quite honestly.

In terms of where I’d rather go though, I’d say Ten Forward. Lot more white people and it’s cleaner. Ten Forward was a place where you could quietly tell a Cardassian about the time you killed one of them. Quark’s was more a place where a mad Nausicaan would take a shit in the middle of the floor. Quark would quickly hit him with a disruptor but it’s still the class of clientele he catered to were more of the galaxy’s trash.

>>19512

Except until that shitty series finale where Riker pretended to be him. Jesus, who the fuck thought a fitting send-off to a show would be to bring in actors from another series to steal the scenes?

>>19526

>Lot more white people and it’s cleaner

Yeah, but most of them are cucks, and all the food is replicated. I'll take a rowdy and dinghy place that has decent food and drink over a characterless, sterile environment with tasteless nu-food and populated with cucks.

>>19527

TNG was in every way better. Best thing about enterprise was having Frakes and Sirtis show up.

>>19508

I can't say I agree. DS 9 works best despite Sisko. Yes, the first 2 seasons wheren't that good, but the same goes for TNG, which didn't start getting consistently good until the end of season 2.

What makes DS 9 stand out is the change of format, which changed a lot of basic dynamics compared to other trek shows that where always about flying around in a ship and proping anomalies.

Instead, DS 9 took a page from B5 and kept an overarching plot and let its writers play with darker themes than the other shows tried. This led to the show being fundamentally different from the other shows.

If you want to compare captains, then yes, Sisko was a nigger, but at least he wasn't psychotic like Janeway or bat shit insane like Archer, and he wasn't put in a situation as easy to handle as what Picard or Kirk got.

I do agree on the "not all shows benefit from binge watching" argument though.

>>19530

>I do agree on the "not all shows benefit from binge watching" argument though.

I don’t. This strikes me as vaguely ‘old man yells at cloud’ if people are starting to remember gaps in shows fondly. This is as stupid as pining for casettes.

I remember watching Part 1 of Best of Both Worlds and everyone being pissed that we had to wait the summer to find out what the fuck was going to happen.

>>19529

TNG was better, but ENT was getting good by the end of Season 2. And that lame-ass holodeck episode they shat out in place of the series finale erased any progress the last two seasons were making.

>>19530

>Sisko was a nigger on an inferior show, but at least he wasn't psychotic like this later even worse post-peak show, or bat shit insane like Archer on this other terminally horrible show.

Good point, anon. Good point.

>>19531

>paying attention is as stupid as throwing casettes at gaps in clouds

fucking nailed it.

>>19530

Is he still a nigger if he's actually raising his son?

Voyager was not improved by Neelix, because Voyager didn't need a nice guy who was always there to help the people he cared about. Voyager needed another competent crew member who wasn't constantly getting killed or having body parts harvested out of them. Neelix, in the right context, could be a fun character. He might have even been interesting on DS9, with the right tweaks.

Now Quark… DS9 could not exist without Quark. This was a character who was deeply integrated into the plots, relationships, setting, and events of the series. He was a pillar, alongside Garak and O'Brien that made the series amazing. He also fit perfectly into the theme of the show. This wasn't a squeaky clean starship where the captain gives grandiloquent speeches about human progress. It's some shitty space station where shit's constantly falling apart, chaos is pouring out of a wormhole, you've got a planet with a troubled history, and a misunderstood race of conquerors. Take Quark out of the equation, and the show gets a little too clean to hold up.

Quark. Even though there were a few plots and episodes hich should have ended the characters' tenuor on the station, such as the Dax Symbiote episode, you now the one, and got Quark sent to prison, he was still a better character and bartender.

Neelix…. was a weakness in most episodes. Ironically, the only episoe where he is central and its a good episode is the one where they run into the frontier of what he knows about and engages in some shady dealings to acquire maps and information in order to stay relevant.

That was actually a good Neelix episode, sfdebris can eat a dick.

sounds like my kind of bar

Quark., the best bar tender in the all galaxy!

>people on this board replying to flagfaggots

Disgusting. Star Wars is more your speed.

>>19555

>wasting these trips on such pointless autism

>Street-shitting is evolved

Jesus Pajeet, get back on /tv/

>>19562

Are you a flag faggot on /sw/ or something?

>>19565

>but this is an anonymous image board

Oh Christ.

>>19566

Now now, don't take the Lord's name in vain over something so trivial as you realizing how silly you've been.

>>19508

I grew up without a TV, so aside from occasionally catching an episode here or there out of order, my experience of all Star Trek series is watching online, a couple episodes a day. Respectfully; your theory is bunk.

>>19580

>That edit

Saved.

>>19584

>No one seemed to notice I typed "artistically" instead of "autistically" way back here

>just outed yourself for ID hopping

Megafaggot. Whatever else you typed is irrelevant, you (You) seeking faggot. Filtered both ID's like the degenerate you are.

>>19677

>ID hops to get around being filtered

You're just proving you're a Super Megafaggot.

>>19572

The theory I was saying was bunk (I originally typed "bullshit" but trimmed it down in the interest of being polite) was that DS9 was somehow a worse show. I watched them back-to-back, in the same manner, and frankly; you're wrong about it. Most of the characters in DS9 were more relatable, their motivations were more interesting, the show had coherent stories rather than a mere string of largely-unrelated escapades, the lore was more coherent, and they fucked up the science less. As a series, DS9 was better by nearly every metric. TNG is still my favorite, just because that's what Star Trek is to me, but I recognize that by any even vaguely objective metric, DS9 is a superior show.

> i wasn't saying binge watching doesn't exist

I never implied that you had said such a thing, so I don't know what you're on about here….

>i was implying that binge watching - particulaly with a second screen dividing one's attention - tends to make a person kind of a retard about what they're watching, with a rather shallow appreciation.

That may be, but that gives no reason why somebody would prefer what you would consider to be the worse show over the better one. Binging them should make the appreciation for one just as shallow as for the other.

>you've yet to establish that you aren't retarded.

If you're going to go that route; you've yet to establish that I am. The onus lies with you, I'm afraid.

>>19704

You are right about ID ‘hopping’ due to VPNs but you’re still a massive faggot. Cool it.

I think Neelix is superior because TNG stayed more true to social/inclusive values. In DS9 the Ferengi aren't even a minority, and they're basically the equivalent of 1800s capitalist (or present day president). Just compare the two based on which one actually makes you feel like you're evolving instead of devolving when watching them.

>>19716

>cool it

do you even know where you are?

>>19729

Just terrible.

>>19730

1800s capitalist? The Ferengi are Jews you dipshit. They even have them wear reverse-yarmulkes at religious ceremonies ffs.

>>19762

He said jews.

>>19757

At least it got a (you), usually my OC is actually good and just gets ignored. Only when it's atrocious does anyone seem to give a shit.

>>19771

Just because it gets ignored anon doesn't mean it isn't acknowledged or appreciated. I find a lot of my OC never gets a (you) but I find it past around the boards. unless of course you are an anon with a massive oral fixation and can't get along with a big meaty (you) to suck on?

>>19772

Don’t do any kind of OC expecting (positive) recognition. That isn’t the point.

>>19775

Eh probably should have said this. I need to stop shitposting on the toilet

>>19777

What kind of man would poop before making a shitpost?

>>19737

>hurrr where you are

This isn’t /tv/, nigger. Keep it in your pants and dial backthe faggotry.

>>19807

Judging by your posts, it’s apparently possible to be a faggot with no men’s asses present.

>>19775

I don't. That doesn't mean it's not nice to be acknowledged once in awhile.

>>19815

>is this newness week for /strek/?

Considering how many topics are appearing where anons blatantly fail to check the fucking catalog before posting, I'd say yes.

>>19814

What are you expecting anon?

Do you want anons to give you headpats and ruffle your hair?

Do you want anons to hold your hand, treat like a little girl and take you out for ice cream for being a good little girl?

Do you want anons at the end of the day to pick you up and cuddle you before tucking you into bed with a teddy and a bedtime story?

>>19948

>faggotry isn’t anti-homosexual

You’re straight from cuckchan aren’t you?

People tell their bartender things they never tell their doctor.
